"Best Practice" Online Cartography spit!
We could do with looking at Multimap/Streetmap/GoogleMaps/Yahoo Maps/Virtual Earth/Mapquest etc and documenting the following things:
Regions covered (i.e. I only know of US/UK-centric sites - how does Japan do it? Russia? Eastern Europe? Scandanavia? Western Europe? Canada? India? etc. (sorry if I missed you))
Number of zoom levels (if fixed), zoom range (if dynamic)
Scale at each zoom level
Road line thicknesses in pixels at each zoom level
HTML colour values for water, parks, roads, main roads, motorways, etc.
Font style for place names, road names, places of interest etc.
Satellite/Aerial available, at what scales, in what areas
Directions available? Multiple waypoints allowed?
Does it have an API?
Does postcode lookup work?
Do its streets line up with its aerial views?
Is it free? Does it have ads?
How big is the map?
Does printing work?
Are there permalinks? If so what is its URL scheme for permalinks?
Can I send a friend a link to a map?
Does "right click/save as" work on the images? Is there another way to download an image? Other formats?
Does it use Flash/DHTML/Java/other?
If it can zoom in an AJAX-y, no page reloads way, does it scale the images until it has higher-res ones?
What browser/OS did you test on?
etc. etc. I'm sure you can think of more.

This seems like a catch-it-all bug. Sorry, saying we must become better, is a little vague for trac tickets. i Suggest you collect ideas on the wiki and convert specific items into tickets. thanks.
